Cranberry Cat-Eyes

I recently picked up theSleek ‘Storm’ i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette which is a really affordable and suuuuuuper pretty set of deep winter colours. This was my first dalliance with Sleek Cosmetics and I will definitely be going back for more – a palette of twelve extremely wearable eyeshadows with great pigmentation for £7.99? Yes please! This post will be a quick look I threw together while dabbling with my lovely new colours. I’ve went for a cranberry shade blended through the crease, a gold shimmer patted along the inner corner, and a jet black cat-eye flick to create a look perfect for the upcoming festive season!

For my eyeshadow I used a very easy-peasy gradient with these four colours in this exact order; so I started with the palest gold in the inner corner, blended it into a more burnished gold, then added this sumptuous cranberry shade on the centre of the lid before smoking out the dark brown shade in the outer corner. I took the cranberry colour again under the waterline and through the crease to really accentuate the warmth of this eye shadow look. I then created my trademark cat-eye flick with an eyeliner pen and made my brows slightly stronger than usual. This allowed the main focus of this look to be on the eyes since the rest of my makeup was kept very simple and neutral. Therefore this is a glittery, Christmassy look but totally wearable in the daytime!

really pretty look 🙂 I always tend to stay towards the more neutral browns when it comes to my eye look but this has made me see that cranberry can be incorporated into a neutral eye look. Will definitely have to look out for a new eyeshadow colours!

Gorgeous look! I’m a massive fan of the Sleek palettes, they have such great colour payoff for a bargain price but I don’t have this one! Next time I’m in the UK I will definitely be picking this one up!

My favourite (well the one that made it into my bag when I relocated to Bangkok) is the Storm palette, a gorgeous range of warm neutrals with a few rich punches of blue and green. Lovely for day and evening! x
